How bout a road car that isn’t 6s ? Will it ever happen? 6s rigs take up too much room in my single cab truck to pack around all the time lol.
 
3s typhon converts nicely to a roadie

Does it have to be Arrma? What is your budget? What are you wanting to do? Hoon around? Speed runs?

Tacon Pursuer - this one is on the small side and only has a 2850 sized motor, most other 1/10th scales have a 3650 sized motor, this car shares a lot of parts with the LC Racing EMB 1/14 scale vehicles.

I was originally planning on converting my 3s Typhon to a mini Infraction with the Proline 56 Ford F-100 body, Senton mounts, and a set of Hoons. That body was designed for a Slash modified with longer A arms- making it almost the same wheelbase and width as the Typhon.

After buying the Hoons, I am happy enough with the looks of the "Typhon GT" that I'll skip the Proline body for now. I like being able to convert between offroad and on road with a simple tire swap. If/when I add a dedicated offroad basher, I'll complete the Typhon street basher transformation.
 
Dang lots of great responses here!! I was really just hoping I’d find someone to commiserate with lol. Thanks to those that suggested rigs but I have a few in each category already. It was more of a musing post about Arrma making a mini infraction or felony. I think it would be a fun car to run on my lunch break at work. I’ve got a castle’d 4tec with me today. I do really like road cars though, honestly I think they’re my favorite which is a very unpopular opinion. It’s has a lot to do with the scale looks and bodies I think.

I was serious about the space in my truck tho lol.

A regular Typhon 6s is a great option and far more capable at the end of the day than a 3s model with modifications.
There are more 1/8 scale speed bodies than any other size other than possibly the 1/10 4tec size cars.

Problem is the 4tec is a wild beast that is hard to tame above 80mph. The 3.0 might be slightly better with its longer wheelbase

Get a truck bed cover, a nice Truxedo from Amazon is like $300 https://www.amazon.com/s?k=truxedo+truxport+roll-up+tonneau+cover+ford+f150&ref=nb_sb_noss_2, and one of those plastic totes that will fit under the cover and fit the car inside, that is how I do it, only batteries, radios and tools ride inside the truck.

I’ve got mine in the mid 80s now and it’s a blast. I’d get the longer chassis if there were more bodies than just the vette. I’ve thought about getting a longer chassis and chopping the fenders off the hot rod coupe body and doing like a period bonneville car.

If you want to go faster you will need a more solid body from Delta Plastics that does not deform in the air pressure.
The Porsche 917 body is one of the best and setup well to accommodate longer wheelbases. A few guys have run them into the 160-170 range.

I made a custom 4tec last year that was longer than a 1/7 scale Limitless
